After forty-five years of adhering to his faith, Jim Maxwell falls dismally short of the Mormon ideal. A divorced single dad, he's a chronic grumbler who refuses to attend the ward mix and mingles. While his testimony of the restored gospel remains firm, when it comes to marriage, he's agnostic. That is, until his old girlfriend, Sadie Gordon, walks back into his life. Now a lapsed Latter-day Saint and author of Mormon "erotica," Sadie recaptures Jim's heart. But can a believer and a nonbeliever find lasting happiness together? The exploration of this unchartered territory forces Jim to reexamine his responsibilities to his family, friends, and faith, as well as his concept of the ideal.
